Automatic transmission cooler ???
Maybe this should go in the transmission section but I keep hearing how important it is to add a cooler when it's time to change the ATF and filter. I don't pull anything but I would really like to know if it's necessary. Thanks in advance to all who reply.

I added a B&M last year. It has a built in valve/orifice that circulates fluid through the cooler only when the fluid gets to a certain temperature or viscosity.
I don't tow anything, but at under $50, it was an easy choice to help protect the tranny in the stop n go traffic here in the Atlanta summers.

Actually, you CAN cause problems by over-cooling the tranny fluid, although some trannies have an internal t-stat to stop flow to the cooler until the fluid's hot enough.
If you're not going to be towing, I doubt you need an aux cooler there in Canada. Here in the desert, however............
